In the north there are two flooded open- cast mining holes, the Wallendorfer and Raßnitzer lakes.
history
The place Wallendorf was first mentioned in 1091 as a Vorwerk of Merseburg. While Wallendorf and Pretzsch belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburg office of Merseburg until 1815 , Wegwitz was administered by the Hochstift-Merseburg office of Schkeuditz . Both offices had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . It has been proven that Gustav Adolf was in Wallendorf before the Battle of Lützen in 1632.
By the resolutions of the Vienna Congress Walldorf, Pretzsch and Wegwitz were ceded in 1815 to Prussia and the 1816 Merseburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated to which they belonged to the 1952nd On April 1, 1937, the communities of Pretzsch and Wegwitz were incorporated into Wallendorf.
During the Second World War , Wallendorf was badly damaged by British and American air raids , also due to the proximity of the Leuna and Buna chemical plants . 15 residents lost their lives in the bombing raids in 1944 and five men in the fighting in Wallendorf in 1945. There were also two flak soldiers who died on April 16, 1945.
During the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Wallendorf was assigned to the Merseburg district in the Halle district, which became part of the Merseburg-Querfurt district in 1994 and the Saale district in 2007 . From 2006 to 2009 the independent community of Wallendorf was part of the Leuna-Kötzschau administrative community . The last mayor was Hans-Joachim Pomian. On January 1, 2010, Wallendorf was incorporated into the Schkopau community .
coat of arms

Blazon : "Split silver over blue, above a blue carp, below a left-turning silver carp."
The design of a coat of arms for Wallendorf was commissioned by the municipality in March 1995 to the heraldist Jörg Mantzsch . Research did not reveal any evidence of earlier national emblems, only in the recent past a seal was used in which three lanceolate fish stand in stakes in the shield, of which the middle one occupies a wave bar.
The heraldist replaced the three narrow and ambiguous fish with two carp in confused colors on a divided shield. The reciprocity in tincture and direction corresponds to models of classical heraldry. The shape of the fish is also well suited to cover both halves of the shield, ie the proportionality in the symbolism is optimal.
The fish itself is a figure represented very differently in heraldry. It is an early Christian symbol that goes back to Peter, but also the symbol of health and secrecy as well as a sign of fishing law or the reference to a body of water. In the case of Wallendorf an der Luppe, this reference to the water is established.
